Polo

 
On Saturday we went to a polo match at the Great Meadow Polo Club. We watched the first match on the grass on our blankets (without the wine and picnic like everyone else around, oops). The second match we found spots to stand and watch on the opposite end of the arena. It was way better to stand on that end because we could actually see the match! We even had to back away from our spots a few times because the horse and rider were so close. So close in fact that I got a mini mouthful of dirt when I screamed cheered as they galloped past.

I definitely want to go again, but next time, bring along a picnic! 

P.S. #3 in the black? He was really handsome. But obviously no William, or Harry, or Harry + William.

Royal Wedding

Yep, we got up at 5am (thank goodness I live on the East coast).

Watched the procession, starting with William and Harry's car around 5:15 or so, all the way through the wedding and the post wedding procession until about 7:30 when I absolutely had to get in the shower so I wouldn't be late for work.

Believe me, had I felt any cough, sore throat, headache, tummy ache etc, I might have very seriously considered maybe calling in sick to work. (I probably would have considered it and then procrastinated that much longer getting ready before getting my butt in gear and getting to work.)

But I loved it. Every minute of it. From the insane hats (cough Beatrice, cough) to adorable little flower girls, cute little choir boys, handsome princes in their uniforms, and us loving the cute half smiles of Kate and Wills. It was a squeal-fest (yep I just said that to describe the early morning sleepy/giddiness exuding itself in our living room) and probably the happiest occasion for lack of sleep. I'd do it again in a heart beat. 

And if you want to read something awesome, go read the live blogging of the Fug Girls. It really is hilarious. And because I love the Fug Girls, you should read this, and go through the slide show with commentary of the wedding. Pretty awesome too.

And I might just be a little obsessed with Kate the Duchess of Cambridge.
